Warp speed

Article Abstract:

A small 32-foot wooden sailboat was being towed across the ocean by a 90-foot motorsailor, to get it fixed. The climate was excellent but the big boat was going faster and the strain of towing at so high a speed was tearing the small boat apart; so it is suggested that for towing, the load on the boat should be spread around the boat's strong points.
